Salon 21, named one of the Best Nail Salons in the city for six straight years by Colorado Springs Independent readers, extends its beauty expertise to customized skincare services. The upbeat, half-edible salon welcomes clients with grapefruit-red walls and plum-blue furniture. During the microdermabrasion facial, an aesthetician analyzes the skin to determine the best treatment and point out constellations in the freckles. Next, a soft suction massage helps to even skin tone and boost circulation before microcrystals slough away dead cells from the face and neck. Alternatively, gloProfessional’s chemical peel gently applies acid to the face, evening its color and texture and diminishing the appearance of fine lines, enlarged pores, and scars. Seasonal peels feature a rotating selection, including cranberry, pumpkin, wild yam, mulberry, and more.

Salon 21

Owner Tiffany Kadrmas leads a squad of trained nail technicians to pamper patrons with services that landed Salon 21 on Colorado Springs Independent readers’ list of top nail salons five years in a row. But it is not just manicures and pedicures that dazzle clients within the vibrant orange walls of the salon. Expert cuts transform manes into trendy 'dos, and Brazilian blowouts leave locks lustrous for up to 90 washes, which loosely equates to a time span of three human months or infinite yeti years. Salon 21 even has a special air purification system specifically designed for removing the small amount of formaldehyde vapor released from the Brazilian process. In addition, their tanning beds bronze skin and brow waxes keep eye awnings artfully arched.
